Fu..in @Ginsly made me build something. And finish it.
But first, this build is sponsored by ChipQwik. Their SMD3SW solder is freaking expensive and awesome! Almost as awesome as this build and circuit. Did you know that not only is it a no clean solder but it also smells like burning soap farts? Even better, if you have security issues and have to clean every bit of flux from your builds, it washes off under hot water in a couple of seconds. The flux doesn't harden, instead leaving a sort of oily viscous film that just dares you to try to clean it with conventional methods. But you just need hot water. Everything else is an interior cleaning method. As for my $52.85, it was money well spent as every other solder I have tried isinterior(inferior). This stuff wets and reflows awesome. I have been a kester guy for 20+ years. F*** those nerds. Use promo code "52FINDOLLARSFOR8OZ" at www.hotgirlzinyourareas.biz today!
Anyway,
The build: Easy layout via @PedalBuilder.
I used 3 house/MIL/possibly random numbered Moto Germs that measured 42/52/72 in Q1/2/3. No measurable leakage Evee en when heated. Nichicon QXY, YXQ?, QXW?, I forget, Nichicon discontinued magic unobtanium foil caps. There. Also silver micas for the smaller values up to 2n4(2n2 on the board, 2n3 measured). The only other alterations were 24k resistors in place of 22k, because I have 57.3x more 24ks and am almost out of 22k.
For the enclosure, SBP 125b/1590sumthin. Wreckless behavior of adding water to lye, burning primer and spray paint and some stamps from the big rock candy mountain adorne the outside coated in duplicolor clear something something that didn't make the stamps run.
Cliff jacks because Cliff is a cool dude who likes D&D and still owes me 20 bucks.
SPC single core wire throughout with some fuckery with the ground wire. Maybe it's art? Maybe it's laziness? You decide!
Some Raytheon pointers on slightly misaligned holes, but the tips don't touch!
And a big stoopid LED because.
Oh, and I screwed up my measurements because. So, I hand to bend the pot legs back where there ankles were so far behind their heads they screamed.
The sound: I dig it. It does the roll back on the volume pot/touch sensitive thing. Had to roll way back but was using hot buckers because I'm a caveman who didn't want to open a guitar case to try single coils.
The depth pot adds a lot, though curiously. At full CCW, it's a fuzzrite, I think. Then at about 9-10oclock you/I/we hit maximum feedback/phase cancellation. Good garage rock and rockabilly stuff here. And the tone just gets bigger from there.
I can attest that a s***** power supply will make itself very evident very quickly with this
circuit as well.
I'll try it out on the bigger amps tomorrow.
Anyway, taint shots or it didn't happen!
Thanks @Ginsly and @PedalBuilder
